ps: Support, please support. The collection is so bad, I feel like next week’s recommendations are gradually disappearing, please save me.

With the arrival of Chang Rui and the official assumption of office of the new county magistrate, the entire Lushan County has ushered in a new chapter.

In a very unexpected scene, Chang Rui first gave the entire Lushan County a hard shake, but the subsequent handover and review went through the same process and passed smoothly. Even Guo Mingyang, the magistrate of Ruzhou's first county who came to serve as a third-party authentication, praised Yue Wenhai's good fortune to meet a successor like Chang Rui who didn't care about money.

Chen Ming's father, Chen Hui, was a confidant of the former magistrate. After respectfully paying 100 taels of silver to the new magistrate, Chen Ming naturally became the confidant of the new magistrate. His position as housekeeper was as secure as a rock. . Even Huang Piao, who was the first to seek refuge in Xinzhi County, did not have as much weight as Chen Hui.

"The Chen family has been running the county government for several generations and has a deep foundation. We can't act too hastily." But no one in the entire Chen family would have imagined that in the signing room not far from the household house, Chang Rui and Huang Piao were doing Such a conversation.

"Things have to be done step by step. I first need to know who in the entire Lushan County has a strong relationship with the Chen family and who can follow me to eliminate them. Then I can take action against the Chen family. Only then can I be completely sure!" Chang Rui Xin was very disdainful of Huang Piao. He was indeed a fool. It was not unreasonable for him to be suppressed by the previous county magistrate for four years. He could not even move on this simple truth. He was really reading to death.

Then the Chen family has been operating for decades, the entire Chen family has hundreds of people, and more ordinary farmers are involved. Can it be settled with a simple sentence? If Chen Hui notices it if he is not careful, who can withstand the backlash?

It was only Li Zhao and Li Zhoutong who conspired with Chang Rui to profit from the entire Chen family, not Wang Jun and Wang Zhizhou. With the arrogance of the Chen family, Chang Rui didn't even dare to bet on whether the Chen family would go bankrupt and burn everything to compete with him! Above Ruzhou, there are Daotai masters from Heshan Rudao. These people will not buy their own face, as long as the money of the Chen family can be used. The Chen family can at least get 'justice'!

"Shu Zi is not enough!" After waving Huang Piao to retreat, Chang Rui looked like a good gentleman, sitting behind the desk, holding the book in his hand, reading with relish. Chang Rui didn't know that his cautious approach was similar to that of Chen Ming. They were both careful and step-by-step.

As the saying goes: The road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time. If you take too big a step, you can easily pull off your eggs.

Chang Rui, a disciple of the Eight Banners, and Chen Ming both know this well, so neither Chen Hui nor Chen Ming, the two father and son who hang out in the county government office every day in June and July, are not aware of Chang Rui and Chang County. The master’s deep malice. It can only be said that Mr. Chang Rui's ten years of practice in the capital's yamen are no joke.

Yue Wenhai's carriage drove out of Lushan County in mid-July, taking his family, his own salutes, three masters, senior attendants and servants with him, leaving the place where he had lived for six years. At this point, Chang Rui, the number one boss in Lushan County, began his career as a Bailihou who dominated the world.

The Lushan County government office is extremely prosperous. Huang Piao bows his head to the newly appointed county master. Li Tianhe (Li Dianshi) also unexpectedly cooperates with Chang Rui. In addition, Mr. Chang did not impulsify the county government's third class six The benefits of housing, the entire county government office In the official class, after seeing Huang Piao and Li Tianhe bow their heads, no one wanted to challenge Chang Rui's authority. The government servants and petty officials all accepted the authority of Master Chang. The county government can be said to have been controlled by Chang Rui.

Coupled with Chang Rui's friendly exchanges with Lushan gentry, landlords and other large households during these days, Chang Rui, the newly appointed county magistrate, established himself in Lushan County at an astonishing speed.

In August, the weather has turned cooler. Chen Ming returned to Tumenji to take his wife back to the county town. In Tumenji, he met Gao Yanming and Chen Jigong. After being disgraced in Ruzhou, these two young and thin-skinned people were unwilling to go back to the academy to study. Instead of giving up the examination room completely, he transferred to Tumenji and studied with Chen Gang.

Holding a copy of "The University" with two fingers, Chen Ming's face was full of lust and sluttiness, which made Gao Yanming and Chen Jigong opposite him feel their teeth itch with hatred. "Hahaha, next year's county exam, hahaha, next February, hahaha..." Chen Ming really wanted to burst out laughing. He didn't know what kind of people the two boys in front of him were. Gao Yanming and Chen Jigong were among the countless underachieving students in later generations of schools. They had no confidence at all in getting into college, but they were determined not to go to school if you told them not to. Those are people who go to school for the sake of going to school. At this age, they are people who 'study' for the sake of 'study'. In the minds of these two boys, taking the exam for merit and studying are two different things!

As a result, after the Ruzhou incident came out, the two boys were first taken back home by their elders to be raised. After Gao Yanming and Chen Jigong came out of Liuxiang Hutong, they were angry, anxious and angry. Next, everyone fell ill. After raising her at home for a month, her body and bones recovered.

But the two of them didn't dare to wander around outside. They wanted to avoid seeing their classmates when they came to visit. The news about them in Ruzhou had spread throughout Lushan County, and the two of them didn't even dare to go out to meet people. In the end, it was Chen Ming who suggested that Gao Yanming be brought to Tumenji and let them be companions. As a result, Gao Yanming and Chen Jigong faced a major choice in life - whether to go to school or not!

These two boys can't stand hardship, and they really don't want to give up the imperial examination, so the elders of the Chen and Gao families decided to study hard behind closed doors and avenge their previous shame next year.

There are only two scholars in the whole Tumenji, one is Chen Gang, and the other is a teacher of Tumenji School. Of course, Gao Yanming and Chen Jigong were kicked to Chen Gang.

Chen Ming was not afraid that Gao Yanming and Chen Jigong, two younger brothers of similar age, would be lured over by Chen Gang, because Chen Gang himself was a bookworm. According to the news reported by the people in the old house, Chen Gang looked down on Gao Yanming and Chen Jigong who were bad at women. The two boys "studied hard" at Chen Gang's house all day long, and the relationship between the three people not only did not start to get close, but became more distant.

Now the final judgment of Gao Yanming and Chen Jigong has been issued by the higher-ups. They have to "study hard behind closed doors" at Chen Gang until February of next year, and then take the imperial examination again. Chen Ming was overjoyed when he thought that the two of them would have to stay in this small courtyard of Chen Gang for half a year.

What a great pain this must be!

Gao Yanming and Chen Jigong were of course very dissatisfied with Chen Ming's gloating, but the thick stack of storybooks and novels that Chen Ming brought to them was enough to dispel all their resentment. The two people who were trapped in the courtyard could only pass the time with storybooks and novels.

In the county government office, it was noon. A group of yamen runners were eating

Chen Hui took a scroll of the cold plum painting of the former Ming Dynasty that he had bought a few days ago and walked to the backyard of the county government office with a relaxed pace. Today, the county magistrate invited guests, and it was a family dinner that had to be attended by close relatives. Chen Hui was really a little flattered. He quickly sent someone to the mansion to deliver this cold plum painting worth hundreds of taels of silver. He couldn't calm down all morning...
